Are You Earth Friendly?
• As a friend to the environment my rating is Conservation Star.
• I can improve my rating even more by bringing my own shopping bags to the store and taking shorter showers.

2-Liter Soda Bottle
• My 2-Liter soda bottle creation is a flower vase which can be used for real or fake flowers.
• The vase is decorated and makes for a nice table center piece.

How it’s made
• I cut off about ¼ of the bottom of a 2-Liter soda bottle.• I turned this piece upside down creating the base.• Then I turned the top half of the bottle, leaving the lid
on tight, upside down and glued the two pieces together which made it leak proof and gave it the shape of a vase.
• I filled the bottom with glass stones to weigh it down.• I decorated the outside with glitter glue to give it a
finished touch.

The Three R’s
• The three R’s of saving the environment are:REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE.
• My idea for a forth R is REFUSE. Refuse to litter
Refuse to use styrofoam Refuse to use pesticides
Refuse to dump chemicals in the ground
• By refusing these things you can help preserve our environment.

Save the Trees
Recycling 1 ton of paper, which is 2000 pounds, can save 17 precious trees!
Saving trees is important because they make the air we breathe cleaner by absorbing hazardous carbon dioxide.

Save the Forest
20 Million acres of forest could be saved by recycling ½ of the World’s paper!
This would preserve natural habitats for plants and animals.
